True Humanitarianism: Soothing The Scorched Jivas by Pure Krishna Katha (JPN transltn )| 11 Oct 2026

Śrīla Prabhupāda had spoken Kṛṣṇa-kathā in one place in New York City, and then, from the power of his speech, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement spread to millions of people around the world. It is especially mentioned in this purport that the Yogendras had no inclination for deception or exploitation. One shloka spoken by Parikshit Maharaja in the 10th Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.1.16) indicates the power of sound vibration in which the speaker has no desire to exploit or deceive the audience. He said, vāsudeva-kathā-praśnaḥ puruṣāṁs trīn punāti hi vaktāraṁ pracchakaṁ śrotṝṁs tat-pāda-salilaṁ yathā Which means that when a pure person, a pure devotee, speaks the Bhagavatam, then three kinds of people, three entities, are purified: one, the speaker; second, the inquirer and third, everybody else who walks by and hears anything. He also mentions that previously I had some anger in my heart, because Parikshit went to the forest to hunt, and then he wasn't greeted properly by Shamika Rishi, and Parikshit Maharaj became angry and road rage. He put a snake around the neck of the sage and then walked out. He said, "Because I was thirsty, that was a material urge, then I got into all this trouble." He said, "pibantam tvan-mukhāmbhoja-cyutaṁ hari-kathāmṛtam". But now that I'm sitting here listening to you, I'm not thirsty anymore. I don't want to drink, even though I'm not drinking anything; I'm not even thirsty." He said, "cyutaṁ hari-kathāmṛtam". Cyutam means something's falling. What's falling? This hari-kathā. It's falling from the mouth of Śukadeva, 'cyutaṁ hari-kathāmṛtam,' and I'm drinking that nectar. Therefore I'm not thirsty, I'm not tired and I'm not hungry. So the gopis say that this is the best philanthropy (SB 10.31.9) tava kathāmṛtaṁ tapta-jīvanaṁ kavibhir īḍitaṁ kalmaṣāpaham śravaṇa-maṅgalaṁ śrīmad ātataṁ bhuvi gṛṇanti ye bhūri-dā janāḥ They said, "Those who are teaching, speaking hari-kathā, they're bhūridā. They are the best givers. There is no better giver than the one who gives pure kṛṣṇa-kathā: tava kathāmṛtaṁ tapta-jīvanam. All the jīvas are getting burned. That's what that means. Tapasya comes from tapa; it means to be burned. So tapta-jīvanam—all the scorched jīvas are getting soothed by amṛta that comes from topics about Krishna. śravaṇa-maṅgalam: as soon as it's spoken, then it creates auspiciousness, and therefore, Nimi Maharaj is very advanced. He understands this principle.
